What should I have done???

 

[trevb78]

But I followed the pattern along - just cut down the one above the door to suit? This is so the grout lines are constant...

Not arguing, just not entirely sure!

Those tiles are a different batch!

 

[trevb78]

I did think that, but I would have noticed on install or soon after! Plus, the pictures tell a lot!

 

[trevb78]

Just fallen in to what you mean above the door - L shape should have been around the door frame! Doh!!

Never a good idea ending with a full tile because ceilings normally run out...

 

[trevb78]

Its not too bad - I had it skimmed recently... I think it looks ok. For my first full room!

Judging from the pics you'd think its got to be down to the tiles, which could be replaced by 2 fresh tiles in an hour, but if you've got a rep coming out then let him decide best course of action and don't let him fob you off.
I'ts never a good idea to have full tiles to floor and ceiling, not unless you know exactly where your high and low points are, can't remember coming across a bathroom when the floor and the ceiling were 100% level, if its your first full bathroom in your house and your happy crack on.

put level on tiles above door. if level is rocking you made right thing.

The rep is coming round on Wednesday....

As for tiles above door - I might replace them a bit later. How bad will the plasterboard behind be?

Re - tiles changing colour.
With I lighter colour tile you will not notice they are different batches till they are grouted then it stands out like a sore thumb.

When you purchase your tiles were there any loose tiles not in boxs or any broken boxs with tape round them..?

 

[trevb78]

I understand, but the third picture shows after grouting...

Why does it always happen that you don't notice shade problems until you buff up the tiles??
In my younger days I did get get caught out with batch/box problems......I didn't cotton on to customer when she said that the DIY shed that she got the tiles from told her that they had to amalgamate boxes from 3 different shops for her order,hence.....3 different batch colours....DOH!

Thats what were saying you may not notice they are different batches until its been grouted....then it stands out...
Did it myself once tiled whole bathroom looked perfect till I grouted it then you could notice some tiles were darker than others..
